I'm with you in that I love the HN input, but it's nice to see links to the 'awesome lists' for reference. I generally bookmark these types of threads under 'hackerNews BestOf', to come back to later on. Doesn't hurt to share them in a comment, just ignore if it doesn't benefit you directly.

So, while today I'm not interested in the 'lists', when I come back looking for x,y,z I might be.
